vlc Media Player closes after movie is over

[davidinjoplin]

vlc Media Player closes after movie is over. It just started doing it. I uninstalled, deleted cache etc and reinstalled. It still does it.

Any help on how to fix this would be greatly appreciated. If there is a fix or a setting , please be detailed on how to fix it as I am not that computer literate.

thanks!

checked it out and the box isn't checked. also when I reopen vlc media player it says it just crashed. a few seconds later it says was unable to send ftp something or other. when I restart vlc media player it is a very small box in the center of the screen and when I maximize it, go to media to play a file, it is not remembering where it was when it last loaded a movie. this case my download subdirectory.
